Sharon I too am interested in this family. I think that William's sister Sarah shown in the records you refer to may have been the Sarah Rockafellow who married Charles Johnson in Hunterdon County 20 June 1802. I'm trying some way to confirm this. Charles and Sarah are my gig-grandparents. Can you confirm? Or anyone else? Thanks for your help.

Rich, I am a Kitchen researcher, and recently completed my book, 1635 to 1975. However, I have some Rockafellars in my computer, one of which married a Kitchen. For what it's worth, here is the line which I have: Peter Rockafellar, unknown birth date. Son, John, born 1742, married Margaret Kitchen (1767) John & Margaret Rockefeller had the following children: Mary (1768), Godfrey (1769), Samuel (1771), Peter (1772), Maraget (1774), Anna (1778), John (1779), Henry (1781), William (1784), and Sarah (unknown birth date). John died in 1832. I have this family living mostly in Sargeantsville. This may be a different line from what you are researching!

Thanks, Robert. The Transactions of the Rockefeller Family 1905 show your Sarah as born 14 June 1808 and died Nov 29, 1835. If accurate, she could not have been my Sarah who married Charles Johnson in 1802. But a birth date of 1808 doesn't fit into the siblings birth dates you list either. What is your source? Of all the Sarah's listed in the Rockefeller book from Hunterdon County, the one born to William and Magdalena Quick Rockefeller seems to fit the closest based upon an 1802 marriage if she married at the common age.

Bob, I am researching the Kitchen family in my ancestry as well. Margaret Kitchen Rockefeller has proved to be a dead end for me. Do you have any information regarding her family that you would be willing to share?
